Adaptive rigid sea joint kit

A method of selecting components for a rigid sea joint for jointing two submarine power cables, using the adaptive rigid sea joint kit for jointing submarine power cables, wherein the adaptive rigid sea joint kit comprises:

• an inner watertight casing kit,
• a rigid outer mechanical casing kit,
• wherein each of the inner watertight casing kit and the rigid outer mechanical casing kit includes at least one base component, which can be fitted with a plurality of types and/or sizes of submarine power cables, and
• wherein each of the inner watertight casing kit and the rigid outer mechanical casing kit includes one set of an adaptive component or a plurality of sets of a respective adaptive component, each set of an adaptive component including a plurality of members of different designs and/or sizes of the adaptive component, enabling the at least one base component of the same kit to fit with different sizes and/or designs of submarine power cables, wherein the adaptive rigid sea joint kit thereby enables building part of one of any of a plurality of differently sized and/or designed rigid sea joints from the inner watertight casing kit and the rigid outer mechanical casing kit for jointing different types of submarine power cables falling within an applicability range of the adaptive rigid sea joint kit,
• the method comprising:
• picking one of each type of base component of each kit, and picking adaptive components from the sets of adaptive components from each kit that fit the size and design of the two submarine power cables.
